I DO NOT own anything regarding the Jurassic Park/World books/movies/games etc.

The only thing I own are the characters I have created, I DO NOT own any of the characters from Jurassic Park/World.

I hope you guys like this chapter, it is quite a short one.

Owen had examined Finn's foot and then wrapped a bandage around it in complete silence, she really didn't believe she needed it but when she protested against it he held a palm up to silence her.

He was done after around five minutes later and then stood up to walk across to the desk where he picked up a clipboard.

"Is that it?" she asked after he had headed for the door and before he began to step out, he halted and turned his head slowly to look at her.

"That's it." he confirmed with a nod and walked out.

"Hold on!" she called after him and pushed herself up from the sofa but she lost her balance as she was rising and fell to the floor onto her knees, "Ouch!"

Her foot was a lot more tender than she'd initially thought as when she went down it touched the ground and pain shot up her leg, she quickly spun around so she was on her back where she then lifted it in mid air so it was safe from anymore harm, she did this just as Owen appeared at her side, she hadn't even seen or heard him come back into the office.

He bent down, scooped her up into his arms without any effort and then stood, "Jesus Finn! Are you trying to make it worse?"

She wanted to respond in the same harsh tone he had spoken to her with but she couldn't form the words, she couldn't form ANY words, their faces were so close that their noses were almost touching.

They stared at one another for what felt like the longest time, neither of them moving or speaking before he eventually adjusted her in his arms so her body moved even closer to his.

Her heart was already suddenly beating faster than normal and the speed picked up even more when he did that, she quickly wrapped her free arm around his neck to not fall, even thought she was 100% sure he wouldn't let her.

Her mouth instantly popped open in a silent gasp when she realised that their faces were now extremely close, so much so that their foreheads were actually touching.

After a long moment of silence he finally spoke in a low and rough voice, he seamed to push his lips out as he did so they were almost grazing her own, "Well?"

"Um." she managed to say as she closed her eyes for a beat to compose herself but they popped open when she felt him move his head a little so their noses were now touching.

"Finn." he whispered and her her heart seamed to go into overdrive, she was convinced he would hear it beating as it was so loud in her ears.

Her hand that she had grabbed onto him with instinctively moved and curled around his neck inside his shirt collar, as she did this he sucked in a sharp breath and used the hand that he was supporting her back with to slowly push her towards him.

She seen his lips then begin to press forward and panic set in, quickly and rather unwillingly she leaned back from him as if she'd just been burned, she inhaled as she did and moved her hand from his warm skin to his shirt covered shoulder.

His head was where her own had just been and his eyes were open along with his mouth, she bit her lip and cast her eyes down, if she hadn't moved away their lips probably would be connected at that moment.

"No." she said quietly in answer to his question without looking up at him and after a beat he inhaled a long breath, she then peaked up at him and found him staring at her.

"I'm not pissed about this morning...well I am, obviously, but...when you showed up with that guy." he spoke eventually, pausing briefly to look away, when he looked back at her his face was grumpy again, "I wasn't even thinking about it anymore."

She stared back at him and swallowed under his intense gaze, "You don't know him."

"And you do?" he asked instantly and she glanced over his shoulder for a second.

"We met today...I think he's nice." she replied in a quiet voice.

"Finn." he said her name in exasperation, "I know him and he's strange."

She sighed, "What makes you think that?"

"I know it. He never speaks with anyone, he's constantly walking around as if he's about to fight with someone." he said with a shake of his head, "You can't just...you could end up with another Ian situation."

Finn frowned at him, "He is nothing like Ian."

"You don't know that." he snapped and pushed her in the back lightly so she was upright and facing him once more.

She gasped at the sudden movement and looked down before speaking, "Just because he is quiet and keeps to himself does not make him a creep."

When she looked at him again she saw him roll his eyes, "You're missing the point."

"What exactly am I missing?" she asked after a beat and he made a noise before moving and then sitting her down on the sofa where he proceeded to kneel down infront of her, she was both grateful and disappointed to no longer be in his strong, attractive arms.

"Ever since you arrived here...the male's have...noticed you." he spoke slowly, "Understandably though as you're the first woman to work up here with us so, there's no doubt that they're going to notice you."

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked away briefly to clear her throat, Owen seamed to be struggling to continue what he was trying to say.

"What I'm getting at is...as I am in charge up here, I am responsible for your welfare when you are working and...you have been in more than one situation now where your welfare has been...at risk." he continued and seeing the frown appearing slowly on her face he quickly added, "That time Hoskins saw you and grabbed you is one and that whole situation with Ian."

He said Ian's name like it was something foul and shook his head in annoyance before he moved forward a little, her eyes widened slightly when she saw him rest his forearms on either side of her legs.

"So when I saw Dave appear, another guy that clearly has more than friendship on his mind by the way." he said and she shook her head at that statement, she had just met the man that day.

Owen ignored her and continued speaking before she could say anything, "When I saw him appear...carrying you in his arms because you'd gotten hurt, BECAUSE of me, obviously...I'm not going to be happy am I?" he looked down and sighed, "I'm only looking out for you."

Finn waited a beat before she responded, "It wasn't your fault Owen...don't be silly."

He looked up at her and she offered him a smile but he didn't return it, "I'm not finished."

Her smile slowly dissolved and she sighed as she motioned for him to continue.

"Now that he's helped you he'll keep coming back...he WANTS you...and I don't want to see you get hurt again." he said and reached forward to touch the edge of her injured mouth where Ian had hurt her the previous night.

She swallowed at his touch and then shook her head, "I'm a grown woman Owen, I can take care of myself...you're not my big brother."

He inhaled quickly and leaned back from her a little before he moved towards her again, quicker than her brain could register and said, "Thank Christ for that."

Then his lips were on hers.
